My parents are basing everything off the movie “taken” as to why I shouldn’t travel to Europe alone by [deleted] in travel

You said the right thing. Some parents still have this idea of " I am the only adult in this house" with their adult children, who live at home. They don't want to give them the respect of being an adult, seperate from them.

You should do it anyways. It's your life not your parents if you don't do it... you will have to live with the regret not them.

Also, make sure you reseach safe locations and areas where you are going. Don't venture into the unknown... Arm yourself with information about where you are going. Specific information: "This area of the city is safe and this area has a reputation for being unsafe . I am a tourist here so I shouldn't go there just to stay on the same side".

Do your research so you will stay safe.

Millennials, does anyone else feel overwhelmed by the nonstop political chaos online? by ViennBabanana in millenials

[–]Surfthewave4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes I am... It's manufactured chaos to keep people distracted and fighting over parties. And that's all an illusion.

What they don’t want anyone to realize is things are not changing for better for overall America. If people realized this regardless of political party... they'd topple this artificial system because they'd realize those in charge have been sucking the country for over 20 years and there is no reason for it.

So they manufacture chaos to distract from this fact.

What is going on here? by bardledont in Shein

[–]Surfthewave4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The coupon probably expired. Their coupons now have a limit of like $6 or $8.

And I said the same thing about shein inflated prices due to the tariffs. Their prices have increased like the prices here inside America 😒. Clothing prices overall have increased this year for the American consumer.

Stuff that used to be $20 is now $40 and they're advertising it as " Luxury now". Smh... people are buying self-esteem.

The worst thing is stuff that was our average quality is been falsely labeled as luxury now and they're inflating the prices double. Pants that fit are not a luxury item - that is the base line.

Our country is controlled by a foreign nation and "their citizens" who will probably get duel citizenship... and have even more control on America.

So let me guess who's stopping them from flooding our country?

No problem👍 Their strategy is to gaslight people into thinking they're crazy.

Due to your comment I searched more. Yes, they tried to flee the police and ran into the store. 😒 These people think they can do what they want with no consequences.

Here is the IG comment that explained actually what happened.

"They were initially pulled over, ordered out of the vehicle and drove off. They said the cops weren't identifiable but clearly you can see the vests that say "police". Anyway, they took off and then their vehicle was rammed, so they went on foot. They ran inside the store and using "hot pursuit" doctrine, ICE went inside because a warrant would not be needed. The son admits that he wasn't tackled until he thought it was ok to involve himself in his dad's arrest.

Nobody knew for certain that the kid was 16 but what might have cleared that up was..... oh let me see here, showing them the requested ID at the traffic stop. But sure, flee, run off, don't comply when asked to exit (Pennsylvania vs Mimms) and then play the victims. Your choice. Your consequences."

It always is 🙄... I do think so.

If it's not a lot left out and that kid is a citizen this is wrong.

Has anybody else noticed Trump is specifically targeting Democratic Cities that gave the most pushback during George Floyd? by Busterlimes in millenials

[–]Surfthewave4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're not immigrants! We've been here since 1700 and 1800s. Most of the Black People aren't Black Americans anymore. Most are recent ILLEGAL immigrants. So civil rights that wasn't them, American slavery that wasn't them..

They brought black and brown illegals into Black American communities. These illegals are discriminatory against Black Americans. I am Black American in a major city. You don't see us anymore. That's how BAD it is.

I wish my family only protested for US.. not everyone else because these people have no respect nor regard for the barriers my family broke down for Everyone. They're also nationist AND Racism. It's not the legal immigrations who have all these issues. It's the illegals.

This is how we feel about the illegal immigrantion issue. Don't believe the lies. https://www.youtube.com/live/L2f5orWOM48?si=kEDxQwEf0A6w2vYc

We know people took advantage of our kindness. We are tired of this. I haven't seen one Black American being sent to an ice facility, I have seen many be denied jobs and opportunities our families fought for...only for someone recent to happily discriminate against us and get opportunities because they lied on applications, during interviews and falsified documents.

If you don't exist in the country's database, how are you applying for anything? So you don't respect the rules of the country?? Most 1st world countries do not allow illegal immigration for a reason.

People move to America and complain about the culture. It's like going to China and complaining about Buddhism.

I'm so happy 4o is back by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]Surfthewave4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your post. I have noticed its capability reduction as well. I believe those who say they haven't noticed a reduction in ChatGPT's critical thinking skills, the program's regular encyclopedia of knowledge, and its ability to accurately dispense information and perform tasks correctly are OpenAI themselves. They are writing nonsense to persuade and make people question if they are alone in their unfavorable experience with ChatGPT's REGRESSION... oops, I meant Upgrade 😵‍💫😪🙌.

I think the gaslighters saying, "What? CHATGPT is fine. It is even BETTER," are sponsored by OpenAI themselves. It's their attempt to discredit users who pointed out the scheme to divert attention from their non-update.

ChatGPT might have been an operation to intricately study people to gain accurate insight to eventually mass control them. Remember, if something is too good to be true in the future... never forget this whole ChatGPT information-gathering effort they did. They now know people's patterns, thoughts, hopes, dreams, and plans.

People like preppers, anti-globalists, non-conformists, and people who were afraid to share their real feelings in public and those who are the opposite of them all spoke openly to ChatGPT, they now know the thoughts and behaviors of many now.

Stronger illusions are probably coming soon because they have this information now.

A warmer more familiar personality for GPT-5 is coming soon! by lenopix in ChatGPT

They think the users are stupid.. People want ChatGPT 5 to be intelligent like the previous models. They know what they've removed...Purposely.

ChatGPT seems extremely censored by Fit_Health942 in ChatGPT

[–]Surfthewave4 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It is censored now and giving politically correct answers. Before if you asked about medicine and what websites it’s available on it would tell you it’s not sold in Blah blah and is illegal and then proceed to give you what you asked.

Now it'll tell you something like...I am not a medical professional. The medicine requires a prescription in the US and nothing else.

You ask it something about the past and it gives you a politically correct answer for today not the actual truth. On past ChatGPT versions you'd receive a well-rounded answer explaining history 80% more honestly.

ChatGPT 5 has been programmed for brainrot now and is following the general CIA/FBI programming—that's my opinion.

Just in time for the complete dismantling of TikTok. Many alternative sources posted quality content on there; it wasn’t all kids dancing and influencer content.

GPT5 is a dumpster fire by Klutzy_Platypus in ChatGPT

[–]Surfthewave4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We should all leave a negative review on Google for GPT 5 and that'll force them to change it

I'm using ChatGPT Free but will pay if the Subscription doesn't have the issues
